Chapter 2 – Alliance
Sam's phone vibrates and sings a loud tone, alarming himself, Fi and Madeline instantly. Madeline watched him closely; hoping and praying it was Michael.. but also, she was pissed off she wasn't called first if it was in fact him. Fi was the same; looking at sam with envy as he placed his cell phone to his ear.
"Sam Axe…"
He answered, hesitant on his choice of words. Uncertain of the response and voice he was about to be exposed to; hoping it was Michael. He stood there for a moment, waiting for a reply. Clearing his throat he began to gather his thoughts on another greeting before the ruffling sounds on the other end startled him.
"Samuel Axe…"
The tone low, mechanical. They were using a voice changer. Static and vibrations interfered with the quality of feedback. He swallowed deeply; trying to relieve his throat of the large lump lodged in his throat; guilt. He looked at Fi and Madeline before looking down at his shoes. He knew the person was going to continue their sentence, he waited impatiently. Sweat started to crawl down his face… Miami's heat was scorching down on them.
"I have your friend"
The voice struck him, hard. He stayed calm, trying to fight his emotions, shield them from showing. He didn't want Fi and Madeline reacting; He knew they'd act out and scream. Demanding answers. That is something he knew he couldn't have happening. He stayed calm and closed his eyes softly, thinking. Gathering his thoughts he exhaled deeply before giving out his reply.
"Which friend?"
With two deep breathes, the mysterious voice replied with a sense of deviation hinted in its tone.
"The Girl"
A sense of relief attacked him; he felt bad for feeling that sudden relief that it wasn't Michael.. he could feel the shivers as he mentioned it was his lady friend. He couldn't quite pin down his feelings, they were scattered everywhere. He was lost in his own world for a moment; unsure of anything that he was feeling. He was worried about his lady friend, of course…
"And the Boy"
The words gutted him. Lowering his head in disgust and guilt. He hissed and growled at himself. His palm across his forehead, wiping and rubbing it. He was instantly angered deeply with himself. He knew who they were, there was no guessing game. They had Denise and Michael. Thinking strongly.. He took a deep breath in and gathered his thoughts together…
"I want you and the two women accompanying you to meet me at 19 Loquat Ave..Do you need to write it down?"
Sam's gut wrenched as the mystery being mentioned Fi and Madeline before him. They could obviously see him, watching him. Taunting and haunting him. Sam knew the two before him could see something was very wrong. Madeline cocked an eyebrow..
"Sam… are you going to let us know what is going on? Or just stand there in a pile of your own sweat?
She had that rusty and aggressive tone within her speech, she knew something was up and wanted answers; she hated seeing Sam try to take it all on by himself. He had them to explain to, to let them in and find a way of it…
Sam was soon hearing the dial tone, he looked to Fi then back to Madeline. Hesitation attacking him, he forced himself to tell them what was going on…His throat thick and dry, incapable of speech; but he forced it.
"We have to head to 19 Loquat Ave, They have Denise and Mike"
"They? Who has my son!"
She didn't care for Denise; for all she knew it was all her doing. According to her.
"What! You let Michael meet a client by himself and now look; he's a hostage… good going, Sam!... you let him walk straight into a trap!"
Madeline and Fi spoke their minds instantly; they weren't taking it easy nor did they keep in any feelings towards Sam. They instantly blamed him; he only felt more pressured and guilty from their words.. it killed him inside. He further more believed it was his own fault.
"I don't know who they are Madeline; they had a voice changer…. "
Shaking his head, his face red from distress and a hint of betrayal. He felt like he wasn't being smart, he did in fact let Michael meet with the client alone, he thought he could handle it alone… He didn't think anything of it. He trusted his lady friend, Denise. He too didn't think much of it; he trusted Sam's judgement.. Where did he go wrong? He sighed deeply, trying his best to keep himself at bay. He was still struck with the feeling he was still being watched. Taking a glance around the area, carefully. His eyes narrowing on top of buildings and into crowds… if they were smart, they'd have darted off long before they ended the call.
Everything was light hearted at the moment; they didn't know exactly how much trouble Michael was in, they knew nothing of the conditions they were in. None of it was written down for them. Their minds just had to run around with thoughts and ideas on what was to come. Fi scoffed, she had believing that it was nothing, just a hopefully person wanting attention and grabbed the wrong person.. But she began to wonder what exactly they had said to Sam, what made him so startled. He wasn't feeding them all the information they needed.
Arriving at the targeted destination. Sam reached for his colt in his belt bucket from behind his back. Uncertain on what he was going to do, just walk in? This person seemed very hostile towards him; his mind attacked him with so many ways to make his entrance. He began to wonder his Denise and Michael were even inside. The instructions and orders were so biased and simple. No details whatsoever. Before he could even think ahead, Fi stormed inside. Guns drawn and screaming out for Michael; fed up of Sam's slowness and over thinking. She had the largest feeling this was nothing serious; nothing more than a harmless person wanting trouble.
Turning the hallway's corner, to her left. She is eye to eye with a gunman, swinging he fists and leg swiftly, drop kicking him in the face. Hitting the floor hard, she stepped over them and continued on. Rushing and desperate to find Michael. Her gun in guard, she turned to see Sam and Madeline coming in slowly, watching her back. Madeline eyed the body unconscious as she stepped over it, carefully. Sam tried calling out to Fi, but her mind was elsewhere…
"Sam Axe"
Turning to look over his shoulder; where the voice came from. He was soon sharing the darkness with the gunmen beside him. Knocked out quickly, unable to see who it was.. As he fell, Madeline gasped and started for Fi, who was too occupied on finding Michael, unaware of Sam lying comatose. She turned briefly, glancing over seeing Madeline by her side, her hands grabbed her arm. Fi aimed her gun at them, but they quickly ducked behind the wall, a chuckle escaped their lips. They wore a black mask over their mouth, a thick black hoddie, covering their face. Their clothing was so thick and dark, filled with padding and pockets. The bullet missed them, only just… She grunted and moved closer, she is soon pushed and shoved into the wall, Madeline lost her footing, falling flat on her buttocks, she screamed.. She felt pathetic for a moment; she faced away from Fi and looked around for a moment. Fi was pinned against the wall, hand over her mouth. Keeping and restraining her from screaming her lungs out… His eyes glued to her, she lost her grip of her gun, her body dropped from the sudden touch…
"Shhh Fi!...They'll…"
Michael is soon pulled back and struck hard with the butt of their gun. The mysterious person watched Michael drop to the floor before them. Looking over to Fi who was still in shock of Michael's unexpected touch. She could see the strain and fear in his eyes.. He was worried for her, extremely scared for her. Michael had managed to get away, unharmed until now.. She hated herself for being so irrational once again.
Madeline swiftly moved up and stood beside Fi, making sure she wasn't taken away. Her eyes narrowed down to Sam on the floor by her, but she was soon thrown off her feet as she noticed Michael unconscious as well.. She gasped and turned to Fi before the Mysterious person came face to face with Fi. Madeline grunted loudly. She wasn't sure on what she was going to do; scared and frozen.
She is soon face to face with the enemy; pulling down their mask covering their mouth, a smirk crossed their lips.. Fi was in utter shock; it was a women..
"You're just who I wanted"
